What is the best answer to: "Why me?"

Arthur Ashe, the legendary tennis player who once held the no 1 rank and winner of several tournaments including Wimbledon, was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From all over the  world, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:

“Why does GOD have to choose you for such a bad disease”?

To this Arthur Ashe replied:

The world over — 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals. When I was holding the trophy I never asked GOD: “Why me?”. So today in pain, I should not be asking GOD:

“Why me?”

What are some of the best rare natural phenomena that occur on Earth?

Let me present you this picture.

No, this is not a painting. It’s actually a rare cloud formation called the undulatus aspiratus.

The wavy structures are actually caused by alternating upward and downward movements of air that sometimes arise after the passage of fierce thunderstorms. Cold and warm air slide past each other and at the interface arise these wonderful clouds.

Wonderful, isn’t it?
